Omar Nyassi inspires The Pub to grab Gunjur Knock-out championship

The
Sifoe-based club beat Blaness FC 1-0 in a well-attended final game played at
the Gunjur Nyamina Football field on Saturday. Both sides made a sloppy start
to the game and created few goal-scoring opportunities ending the first half
barren.

When
the second half resumed, The Pub dominated the game and created some goal
scoring opportunities leading to their opening of scores through prolific
striker Omar Nyassi in the 49th minute of the game after capitalising on
Blaness FC’s defensive blunder to fire home the opener, which eventually proved
to be the winner for the Sifoe-based football club.

Blaness
FC reacted quickly for an equaliser and could have leveled the scores through
striker Modou Lamin Manneh mid-way into the second half but his shot was
cleared off the line by The Pub FC defence.

As
champions, The Pub FC went home with a giant trophy and cash prize of D9, 000
while Blaness FC received D6, 000 as runners-up.
